THE BEST HOME PAPER IN

This is not brag.
1t is plain statement ofan honest fact.
Ordinarily the weekly issue ofa daily paper
is esteemed to be merely digest of the weeks
news, suitable alone for rural readers.
This is not true in reference TO the WEEKLY
Press.
1t is specially edited by trained corps of
writer's selected for the purpose of making
the best paper.
1t is adapted to the improvement and en-
jovment of both sexes, of all ages, of every
family, whether resident of the city, village
or country.
Not word Of crime or impure suggestion
in any part of the paper.
1t is anold paper and carries its age and
reputation equally well.
Now we are seeking new and larger cir
Gle of ofreaders. AS an inducerAnt to this
end the WEEKLY Press in connection with
any four dollar magazine in America will
be sent for the single subscription price of
such magazine.
Or, on application, we will make special
combination of any two or more periodicals
published in America, either weekly or
monthly, in conjunction with the WEEKLY
Press at such low rate as will be equivalent
to years subscription to the WEEKLY
Press free for one year.
We make this exceptional proposition in
order that the WEEKLY PREss may 90 on

PATRICK FAHEY, who last summer
assaulted editor Bell Of the Whining
ton Star, striking him over the head
with a heavy chair when his back was
turned, has been convicted of simple
assault and find SIS with costs of pro-
secution. We cannot look upon this
as satisfactory verdict. The assault
was unprovoked, and murderous and
had Mr.. Bell been weaker or less en-
ergetic man the result might have been
fatal. It virtually says such assaults
are no worse in the eyes of the law
than box on the ear or tweak of the
nose and cannot help but embolden
men of Fahey's character to similar
rash and murderous acts where they
consider themselves aggrieyed. But if
it points that sort of moral to Fahey's
class, Mr.. Bell and his fraternity will
do well in future to take more satisfac-
tion out of their assailants before they
call in the police. We are rather more
than half inclined to think that if
Fahey had gone to the police station
in an ambulance instead of the way he
did 60 the verdict of 1915 and costs'
would have come good deal nearer to
the account.

THIS year we offer the Philadelphia
Weekly Press and THE TRANSCRIPT,
both one year, for $500 in advance.
The Press is Republican paper. For
those who may desire a Democratic
metropolitan weekly we have obtained
a rate from the New York Weekly
Star which enables us to offer both
the Star and The TRANSCRIPT for
1920, These subscriptions will be sent
in on the first of each month, the same
as last year. The Star is staunch
supporter of the present National Ad-
ministration and believes in tariff
reform. The Press is strong in the
protection sentiment and advocates Re-
publican men and measures all the
time. THE TRANSCRIPT is Democrat
ic in politics and is the best local pa
per in this section. Give them trial.

THE efforts of the soliciting COM
mittee Of the Volunteer Hose and Hook
and Ladder Company have been crown
ed with partial success, but there is
not as much money promised as there
should be. Now that the water works
are finished, they are no means of pro-
lection unless the town has a supply
of hose with which to use the water.
The town commissioners say that they
have no funds to apply for such purpose,
and will not have until another levy is
made, and unless some part of the
whole sum needed is raised voluntari-

Mason & HamIIn Pianos.

Mason b Hamlin bid fair to become as fam.
oas for their pianos as they have long been
for their world-renoYned organs. The dis
tinguishing feature about the Mason & Ham,
lin Piano is an important improvement in the
method Of holding the strings. They are Sc
cured by metallic fastenings, instead Of by
the friction of pins set in wood, as has been
the ease, and the advantages resulting are
highly important. Wonderful beauty and
musical quality OF tone far less liability OF
getting out Of tune; greater reliability in
trying climates; and greater solidity of con-
struction and durability are secured.
